چکیده
The generation of large-scale zonal flows by small-scale electrostatic drift waves in electron temperature gradient(ETG) driven turbulence model is considered. The generation mechanism is based on the modulational instability of a finite amplitude monochromatic drift wave. The threshold and growth rate of the instability as well as the optimal spatial scale of zonal flow are obtained.

A sound stimulus entering the inner ear excites a deformation of the basilar membrane which travels along the cochlea towards the apex. It is well established that this wave-like disturbance is amplified by an active system. Recently, it has been proposed that the active system consists of a set of self-tuned critical oscillators which automatically operate at an oscillatory instability. Here, ...

ar X iv :p hy si cs /0 60 70 59 v 1 7 Ju l 2 00 6 Abstract This paper presents theoretical results indicating that newly discovered nondiffracting beams we call X waves, can propagate in a confined space (wave guide) with specific quantized temporal frequencies. These results could have applications in nondispersive transmission of acoustic, electromagnetic (microwaves) and optical energy throu...

We describe the first DNS-based measurement of the complete mean response of a turbulent channel flow to small external disturbances. Space-time impulsive perturbations are applied at one channel wall, and the linear response describes their mean effect on the flow field as a function of spatial and temporal separations. The turbulent response is shown to differ from the response a laminar flow...
